PAINTED IN A CAVERN.
Life Size Picture of the Crucihxion
Oh Subterranean Rock.

AT the mouth of the beautiful loch
when forms the harbor of Campbelton
'aet' ''oS an island called Davaar,
"oout mile or so in circumference
On the side facing CampbelItown loch
IL slopes down to the water, but on the
other side it is precipitous. Its cliffs
are ldented with numerous caves, which
are objects of interest and curiosity to
VISITORS, as they are easily accessible at
nearly all states of the tide to any one
not afraid of rather rough walk over
boulders. In connection with one of
ehese caves there has within the last
nc" weeks, arisen an OBJECT of rather
mysterious interest in the shape of
palnung OF the Savior on the cross. The
cave In question is double one, the
Maln cave being about fifteen or twenty
yarus IN depth, with 4 separate smaller
one opening into it about halfway in
IN the recess formed by the junction OF
the two caves there is a curious fat
triangular surface of rock exactly the
size to contain the figure, with arms
outstretched on the cross; and it is al
most stroke of genius to conceive the
painting of such a subject in such a
place, as the subdued light entering by
the smaller opening, dimly lighting up
a recess which would otherwise be dark
gives the figure weird and mysteri-
our appearance, which is most striking
and impressive. 1t is full size, painted
IN oil colors and represents full front
view OF the Savior. 1t is realistic work
and so far and as be judged by the
dim religious light well and powerfully
drawn any colored The discovery
created a powerful sensation, and it has
attracted an almost constant stream of
visitors from all parts of Scotland. This
sensation was heightened by the mys-
terry attending it, no one knowing when
or by whom the work was done. A
gentleman named Mr.. Archibald Nc
Klnnon, however, has since acknowl-
edged that entered the double cave
on the Island of Davaar on several
occasions, and painted the subject of
Christ Crucifed' on the wall of the
cave, in the most suitable place | have
ever discovered for the purpose of
portraying subject have long had at
heart. "-Chambers' Journal.

GLASS EXPERIMENTATION.
The Methods Used in COlOring Glass
in Bohemia.

characterization of glass is one of the
most successful of the mechanical arts
of the day. The Popular Science Monthly
gives the following account of the man
ner in which Bohemian glass is colored:
The ornamentation of glass is done
partly in connection with the exposure
in the furnace, and partly in the finish
ing shops, where the work is completed
by cutting, polishing, furnishing, etch-
ing, painting and mounting in metal.
The glass houses have at their command
q very complete color scale or trans
parent, opaque and clOuded glasses.
But it must not be supposed that
crucible is placed in the furnace for
each color, IRON which glass coiored for
each ornament is to be made. The
colorS are worked out by means OfWhat
are called pastes, which are Kept on
hand in sticks or cakes. From pieces
OF these pastes previously warmed till
they are soft, suitable quantities are cut
off, ibid upon the foundation of white
ur colOren glass, and then spread out by
drawing or blowing. By this means
only,is an economical use OF such costly
materials as gold and silver compost
tions possible. Some OF the glasses thus
treated-gold, copper and silver glasses
remain still little or not at all colored
after the melting, shaping and quick
cooling, and do not take on their bright
hues TIL they are reheated. This is the
case with the new yellow silver glass,
which continues uncolored alter the in
termelting of the silver salt until it is
exposed in the furnace again. Very
fine effects are produced by blending or
overrunning of the paste colors, pro-
vided proper attention is given to the
laws of harmony. A blue-glass cup is,
for example, OVERLAND with silver glass
at its upper edge, and this is drawn
down in gradually thinner tones till it
fades away at The foot of the vase.
Gold and copper ruby colors are thus
combined with green glasses, etc
Another brilliant efftct is produced
when still hot bulb of glass is rolled in
finely pulverized adventurine glass, and
after this is melted. and previous to The
shaping of the vessel, is overland with a
coating of either colored or oolorless
glass; ..r~

King Humbert's Story.

One day, after listening patiently to a
certain court wit, who had told a most
extravagant yarn made out of whole
cloth, the king remarked quietly: al
can easily believe the story, because 1
have had a more curious experience
myself. On one occasion 1 had been
out hunting all day long and was re-
tut ming home empty handed and very
much disguised at my bad luck, when
thrush flew up within ange of my gun.
and thinking it better than nothing l
blazed away at it, and, my great as
constituent, brought down not only the
thrush, but good sized hawk. The
explanation is very simple, for you see.
Just at the moment when | pulled the
trigger this hawk, which was also out
hunting, had swooped down upon the
thrush, and in consequence the one
shot had struck both birds. But that
was not all. The report of my gun had
scared up rabbit, and as luck would
have 1t, the hawk fell directly on Dummies
back, and being only wounded, immedi-
ately attacked the poor beast so fiercely
that he, suffering under the cruel claws.
began to dig up the earth frantically
with his paws, and presently uncovered
two immense t"Tffies. So you see, with
a single shot l bagged 8 fine hawk to
stuff, thrush to brOil. a nice fat rabbit
to stew, and two splendid truff1es for the
seasoning
The king is also fond of telling how
in the campaigns OF 1866, he had three
buttons shot from his coat by rifle balls
and how he once owned q horse which
could jump across a ditch more than
thirty feet wide; and again how, when
3 boy, his gymnastic teacher taught
him to climb over q wall 100 feet high |
using rope or anything OF the
sort. Whenever the king sees fit to |
amuse himself in this way the courtiers
are on pins and needles, for he requires |
each of them to listen to whatever he |
may say with the utmost seriousness. -

TO the Editor of the Dispatch
Please allow me space in your columns
TO offer suggestion for the city's inter
est. have become thoroughly convinced
that the present system of doing tree
trimming is wrong and very ridiculous,
and unless some better system is
adopted it can never be done in any
satisfactory or creditable manner.
Smith, Jones, and others very naturally
think because they plant the trees and
because they have to pay for the
pruning that they ought to say how
the work should be done, whether or
not they possess any knowledge in the
matter. Trees are being planted every
year and receive no attention untilthey
ale found to be in some ones way
the limbs are finding their way
in Mt the windows, or the tree is
shading the front-yard or obstructing
the view somewhere, or the tree ought
not TO be there, and so on. Then they
proceed TO cut and slash to remedy the
fault. The tree has been neglected too
long; il hes been allowed TO throw out
its long, branchless arms, and up its
slender stem 10 be broken off by the
winds or terribly butchered by some
unskilled operator, who in most cases
is only seeking dime, and cares nothing
for the public's interest. What every
body's business is nobody's business.
Now. then, let the city appropriate $3.50
annually TO employ skilled assistance to
operate at this business and properly
perform the work, and in five years she
viii cheeriully give several times that
amount towards the purpose. Also. let
the city provide an ordinance specify
ing the class and variety of tree to be
planted, and the distances and locations.
Trees along the streets are in most eases
planted too close, and by the time they
get well started to growing they have
become so cramped us to impede their
yigor, and consequently are thrown into
an unhealthy state, and are soon fit only
for firewood. Let the city adopt this
system, and in few years the streets
viii present the appearance OF we'll
kept park.

Bancroft and Byron.

The American squadron was lying at
the time in the harbOr of Leghorn, and
Bancroft was invited by the COmmo-
dore TO meet Byron aboard the flagship.
There were present only few other
Americans, among them the Consul at
Tunis, with his wife and several ladies'.
When thepoet, accompanied by his host
and the principal officers Of the fleet,
came up the companionway, his counte-
nance Immediately fell at the sight OF
the ladies among the new arrivals,
thinking probably that they were Eng
lish women who had taken advantage
of the opportunity to spy him out.
But on learning that they were Ameri-
cans he at once recovered his cheerful
ness, and was most approachable. In
fact, when the Consul's wife laugh
ingly said that her children would want
some proof that she had seen Lord By
ron, she was permitted to take the rose
from his button-hole. Before leaving, the
nobleman's secretary invited Bancroft
in his masters name tovisit Monte Nero.
SO intense was the enthusiasm for By
ron among the officers of the fleet that
when he was rowed ashore one Captain
manned his yardarms and fired q salute;
but the Commodore, feeling that the
guest of the day had no position which
warranted so official a greeting,
allowed it to go no further. Shortly
after Bancroft wrote a note to
ask if he might call at Monte Nero, and
received a pleasant, lively reply. By
ron's reception of his guest was cordial.
He was simply but carefully dressed,
and during the breakfast talked of JET
frey and the bitter attacks of the Film
bDTgh ReUieW. His eye was bright
and his manner animated, but without
bitterness or rancor. He seemed in
tonsely interested in Goethe, and asked
many questions about him. The idea
that T" Manfred "was based on "Faust"
he declared to be false, explaining that
he had never even seen Faust" Hewas
evidently delighted TO hear how great
fnyorite he was everywhere in Germany.
BE spoke also of Ihorwaldsen's busts,
and said, with seeming dissatisfaction,
the last one was too spare. After break
fast he invited Bancroft into the draw
ing-room, from the windows OF which,
he said, Elba was visible, and indeed it
WINS, but very dimly. While they
were standing absorbed in trying TO
discern its outline, the door opened

BESIDES the reasons for kindness to
animals mentioned by President Angel,
it has been found that animals not in
frequently retain feeling Of gratitude
for kindness done them, and find
means of repaying it. We are ia
miliar with the fable of the hon
from whose foot Androcles drew
a painful thorn we remember how the
mouse, liberated by the lion, after8ard
gnawed the nets, and set his benefactor
free aud we shall be glad to hear from
any one who can tell from his own ex-
peiience story of animal gratitude to
match this from the Chicago Ucrqid.
It was told by a Rock Island locomo-
tive engineer.
d" Some years ago, " said the engineer,
- Was running along near Joliet, when
/ saw fine big black dog fast under an
old farm gate by the side Of the track.
He had evidently tried to jump over
the gate and the hilges being broken il
had fallen on him. He could not get
out, and was bowling so pitifully that l
stopped my engine and went to bis. as
sistance. He was so grateful that
he licked my hand and wanted 10 fol-
low me into the cab. | wanted to take
him with me, but didn't dare. After
that the dog, whom l and my fireman
named Rocks, used to sit beside the track
and wag his tail when we went by.
He got so he could tell my engine as
far az he could see it or hear my
whistle. A few months later we
were running along there, behind
time and going very fast. 1t was
just at daybreak, and / was a little
surprised to see Rocks on the track
ahead of us. He was acting strangely.
He barked furiously and howled, and
reared upon his hind feet. When we
came up a little closer to him he started
and ran a ways on the track, and then
turned and sat up and howled again.
He did this two or three times, until
my fireman and l felt sure that he was
mad
FINALLY Rocks fingered too long on
the track, and was struck by the pilot
and drawn under the wheels. heard
him howl so agonizingly as he. went I'M
der that | Immediately shut OF steam
and stopped the train. My fireman
went back to see what had become of
Rocks, but he had been all mashed
to pieces. My freman and | were
about ready to cry as we started up
again but imagine our amazement
when, on turning a curve, little ways
ahead we saw an obstruction on the
track, so placed that it would surely
have derailed our train had we struck
it at null speed AS it was, we were
hardly in motion, and easily stopped
before reaching the danger All that
could ever be learned about the OBJ
struction was that probably some
farmer or other person, having spite
against the road, had placed it there.
Nobody was arrested for il, but /
believe that if old Rocks had lived
he could have barked his iiercest at
the criminal"

aeveral persons narrowly escaped
with their lives. A farmer named
whitney was imprisoned in small
out-buiiding one cold night and nearly
frozen. The panther stood guard at the
door while devouring a sheep. Whit
news family heard his cries for assist
auce. but dared not venture out
Of the house. A church congre-
cation which had assembled at a
school-house one evening last week
was imprisoned for three hours by the
panther. All the male inhabitants
plucked up courage last Tuesday, and
armed with ancient shot-guns, rusty
rifles. and various other weapons, and
led by mongrel pack of dogs, they
hunted the panther. The dogs discoy-
cred the beast in rayine in the dense
woods, three miles from the village.
He took refuge in a tall hemlock,
but not until he had killed two of the
most courageous ours. Then from a
safe distance a volley Of musket-balis
and buckshot was fred into the tree
where the animal was partly hidden
from sight. Some of the balls took
effect, and with q scream OF pain the
panther fell to the ground and soon ex-
PRED. He was a monster, measuring
over eight feet from head to tail.

PhilndeID,,in HIN Ari.
Now York SUM-


II is announced with pride in the
Philadelphia Times that two great
works OF AIT have been secured for the
forthcoming American Exhibition in
London-one the plaster model OF the
Philadelphia public buildings, and the
other Rothermels painting Of the Bat
tie Of Gettysburg.
Both Of these works are immense in
area and similar in artistic merit;
which is to say that rs an architectural
botch and abortion the public buildings
have no equal in our country, while
the Battle of Gettysburg knows no ri
val in the ranks of gigantic daubs.
Perhaps the exhibition in London is
designed to be an exhibition of Ameri-
ca in an oquiyocal sense. If it be, then
We can understand the selection Of our
biggest and worst building and our big
gest and most absurd painting.
However, it isall right The English
will enjoy them anyhow, and they may
both get lost.
